From this woman's point of view, there should never be a place for women (or men) who can't qualify based on their fishing skills. I knew Mr. Scott, creator of BASSMASTERS, and he would be rolling over if he knew someone had degraded BASS that much. It was intended to be fair-and-square across the board.

It's not like a woman can't learn the skills and ability that it takes to enter a tournament, nor is it as if she has to run a mile carrying a boat and trailer on her back to qualify. If she is going to go out there to compete, let her EARN her spot just like the men do. jmo
